The Magnum with a hemi is surprisingly capable for a land yacht. We used to have a paraplegic guy come out to Willow Springs with one, mount a set of fatty Hoosiers by himself, and put down some very respectable laps. I don't recall specific lap times but he was not far behind a pair of Base Boxsters who were moving pretty well.

When some pimply-faced kid feels the need to challenge my ride, (usually it is a Honda or Nissan with way too much $$ invested in his muffler and rear wing) I just calmly suggest they go out to a real race track (Willow Springs, Watkins Glen, Fontana Roval) on an open track day, post their best lap time and get back to me. We'll compare notes.
